G-NAF (Geocoded National Address File) is a dataset of physical Australian addresses with their latitude-longitude coordinates.
Callpoint Spatial licenses G-NAF for your internal business use or to embed in a product/ service that you commercialise. We package G-NAF in various formats and can customise to meet your needs.
G-NAF is Australia's authoritative geocoded address dataset. It is compiled and maintained by PSMA Australia.

License benefits with Callpoint Spatial
Reasons include:
- Our wide G-NAF experience, for instance
- We engaged with PSMA Australia and worked with the 2003 pre-release edition during the first IPND address accuracy audit. We recommended that G-NAF be used as the address reference dictionary for future audits; this recommendation was adopted by ACMA
- We pioneered the use of G-NAF in our Local Government Area (LGA) Broadband Analysis reports in 2004
- We won the Metropolitan Broadband Blackspot Program (MBBP 2005) geospatial consultancy tender and extensively used G-NAF for that project
- We transitioned our address validation/ geocoding engine to G-NAF during 2004, and this has since been extensively refined. The engine is embedded within Callpoint AQ Pro®
- Through G-NAF, we have helped more than 30 telcos with their spatial needs. While telcos have very specific requirements, the expertise we have developed could be very relevant to solving your problem
- Our advisory capacity
- Ability to license either for your internal business use (EULA) or as part of a solution you are offering to your customers (Secondary VAR)
- The wide range of standard formats that we supply and customisation options
